Lauren Liess Textiles Shoot

I have pictures back from our photo shoot at Helen Norman's farm!! Helen & her assisitant F.J. are still working on the photos (we're going for a sort of vintage/ edgy vibes for the photographs so it takes a lot of processing afterwards) but I though I'd share a few peeks - some without the processing.

Our goal with this photoshoot was to show the fabrics in a variety of settings, both with and whithout people. We wanted to show how the fabrics move and look and feel. I washed some of the fabrics before the shoot to give them a bit of patina and I really love how they turned out. Some of the photos and fabrics come across as fresh and happy & fun, while others are earthier, moodier or softer. We wanted to show the variety of feelings & moods that couls be created with the line. (55 fabrics in total with 14 different designs.)

Here's part of our gold/ yellow collection on a beautiful antique daybed with little Grizzly taking a nap to show they really are comfy:

Our boys were sooooo good and put up with so much. Here's an outtake of them, totally at the end of their ropes:

I love this photo with the mist on the door to the porch:

We woke up super-early and got some cool pics with fog in the background:

I looooove this outtake... Did you ever play this game with friends when you were little?-

...Anyway, I have so many more pics to share (I think 85 total?!! We took over 1,000!) but I really want you to see them once they have that processing I mentioned. I'm finishing up loading the plain fabric photos onto my online store and will then go back & add in the lifestyle photos & then we'll be ready to launch. We're all moving as quickly as we can!! :)

I can't thank Helen & F.J. enough for the photos & their time, and of course thank you to my family. (I know two of you can't read yet, but I love you more than anything and one day you'll get what a big deal this was to me.)

I think it is so cool that your dream of making your very own fabrics are coming to fruition. That is so inspiring in itself. Your textiles are beautiful-earthy and unique. Please post all the finish photos! I can't wait to see them!

Hello Lauren, I am a frequenter of your blog, Brazil, and would like to invite you to visit http://www.paulakasas.blogspot.com, which will give me immense satisfaction. Your blog is wonderful. kisses Paula Kasasa

You look so beautiful Lauren! The fabrics are amazing. When I get a minute to breath I'm ordering a sample of the paisley. Mehgan was super prompt in getting the info to me. ;-))) I know you'll have great success with these!!! xo Jennifer @ vreelandroad.blogspot.com

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.
